[proven sable]

hidden = yes will make an event hidden. A hidden event does not need a title or a description. The first defined option, if one is present, will be automatically picked upon being fired.

[molten lynx]

this look good? also teh cirlced id is waht im confused about

state or tile?

[proven sable]

Like I say I think that I'd is just assigned to the units so you can delete them later if needed

[molten lynx]

the units cant be deleted or edited

[proven sable]

I think you need 986 = create unit

[molten lynx]

nah 986 is the state which needs to be controleld for teh event tro grigger

[proven sable]

Where do you want the units to spawn

[molten lynx]

province 10237

or state 334

[proven sable]

State 334 = {create unit = {prioritize_location = 10237}}

[molten lynx]

oh

[molten lynx]

im a bit confused with how i integrate this

[molten lynx]

i put this line instaed of jsut "create_unit = {" ?

[proven sable]

Take this and just add state = before create unit and prioritize location= on top of division

[molten lynx]

wait do i need to move this indent?

[proven sable]

Btw you can enclose text in ``` to keep the formatting of code so you can just copy and paste it instead of screenshotting it.

[molten lynx]

o ye

[proven sable]

No but I think create unit should be outside the if statement.

[molten lynx]

not liek this?

     if = {
             986 = {is_controlled_by = FAR}


            State 334 = {create unit = {prioritize_location = 10237}}
            create_unit = {
                division = "name = \"Scarab Swarm\" division_template = \"Scarab Swarm\" start_manpower_factor = 1"
                owner = FAR
                    count = 6
                allow_spawning_on_enemy_provs = yes
            
        }
    }

    fire_only_once = yes
    hidden = yes
}

[proven sable]

This is for an event?

You know what let me get you an event template.

[molten lynx]

o

i didnt see any event examples or spawning troops

[proven sable]

    id = vic_colonial_war.14
    title = vic_colonial_war.14.t
    desc = vic_colonial_war.14.desc
    picture = GFX_report_event_ARG_coup_detat
    fire_only_once = yes
    hidden = yes
    trigger = {
        
    }
    mean_time_to_happen = { days = 5}
    
    option = { #surrender
        name = vic_colonial_war.13.a
    }
}```

that's an empty event

[molten lynx]

o

wait do i not need namespace?

[proven sable]

yes you do and that'll be for whatever you name the event

[molten lynx]

ah ok

[timber zenith]

you nead a limit = { } scope for the is_controlled_by

[proven sable]

    id = vic_colonial_war.14
    title = vic_colonial_war.14.t
    desc = vic_colonial_war.14.desc
    picture = GFX_report_event_ARG_coup_detat
    fire_only_once = yes
    hidden = yes
    trigger = {
         986 = {is_controlled_by = FAR}
    }
    mean_time_to_happen = { days = 5}
    
    option = { #surrender
        name = vic_colonial_war.13.a
        334 = create_unit = {
            prioritize_location = 10237
            division = "name = \"Scarab Swarm\" division_template = \"Scarab Swarm\" start_manpower_factor = 1"
            owner = FAR
            count = 6
            allow_spawning_on_enemy_provs = yes
            
        }
    }
}```

This should work for you

[molten lynx]

oh god damn

that was fast lol

thank you

was in teh middle of sorting out indenting on my end lol

[wintry geode]

Anyone know how to make so all puppets of a certain country become free? i cant figure it out

[molten lynx]

do i need to cahnge the ids? does it matetr waht i cahnge them to?

[proven sable]

You can change the ID to whatever you want you just have to put a namespace on top of the event with the same name

so for this one the namespace was add_namespace = vic_colonial_war

[molten lynx]

ooh

i see

ill do Expansion_Events

[proven sable]

generally avoid using capitals

[molten lynx]

my bad

[proven sable]

You can use capitals but paradox doesn't which can make things confusing for you

makes it more likely you make a mistake by forgetting to capitalise something somewhere, or accidentally capitalising something from paradox that shouldn't be

[molten lynx]

Expansion_01 = {
    id = expansion_events.01
    title = expansion_events.01.t
    desc = expansion_events.01.desc
    picture = GFX_report_event_ARG_coup_detat
    fire_only_once = yes
    hidden = yes
    trigger = {
         986 = {is_controlled_by = FAR}
    }
    mean_time_to_happen = { days = 5}
    
    option = { 
        name = expansion_events.02.a
        334 = create_unit = {
            prioritize_location = 10237
            division = "name = \"Scarab Swarm\" division_template = \"Scarab Swarm\" start_manpower_factor = 1"
            owner = FAR
            count = 6
            allow_spawning_on_enemy_provs = yes
        }
    }
}```

hows this look?

i jsut adjusted some names

[proven sable]

looks fine

if you want to test it in game open up the console and type "event expansion_events.01"

that'll fire it instantly bypassing the trigger so you can see if it works

at least so long as the OOB with the template is loaded in

[molten lynx]

says theres no event with taht id

[proven sable]

Did ya hit save :p

[molten lynx]

events folder

[proven sable]

Hmm that's weird I don't know why that's not working

[wintry geode]

how to make so all dutch puppets become british puppets?

[proven sable]

I'm not sure but maybe it doesn't like .01, try .1

[proven sable]

ENG = {puppet = tag}. Or something like that, check effects wiki

[molten lynx]

no luck 😭

[proven sable]

I got no idea sorry

[molten lynx]

shit

[molten lynx]

wait do i need to set up lcoalisation for it?

and a description

[proven sable]

Nope, should just work

I think if it's hidden you don't even need to set a title and desc it's just good practice for edge cases

[molten lynx]

oh

[wintry geode]

every_country = {
limit = {
is_subject_of=FRA
}
set_autonomy = { target = PREV autonomy_state = autonomy_free }
}

theres no reason this code shouldnt be able to work

[molten lynx]

btw ive restarted sevreal times betwen tests

[proven sable]

That would just free them

[wintry geode]

they dont get freed

they remain puppets

i want them to be free

[proven sable]

Again tho indenting please man

[wintry geode]

?

whats that

[proven sable]

You indent your code so that anything within a block is indented further than the start of the block

[proven sable]

Like this

[wintry geode]

as in only show the necessary parts?

[molten lynx]

event expansion_events.1 FAR

noticed i need the tag

stil getting this error

[proven sable]

You don't need a tag

[molten lynx]

you dont?

[proven sable]

Can you try firing a base game event

[molten lynx]

any examples?

[proven sable]

I think france.14 is Vichy

[molten lynx]

ye worked

[proven sable]

Ok right, try copying over an event file from base game and just stick your code in at the bottom

[molten lynx]

o wait like edit an existing event?

[proven sable]

No just in case you've done something weird in the file

[molten lynx]

oh

[proven sable]

You're in debug mode right? You have error dog

[molten lynx]

ye

[proven sable]

So do you get any errors?

[molten lynx]

"Unexpected token: Expansion_1, near line: 12" in file: "events/FAR.txt" near line: 61

61 has nothing

[proven sable]

Oh my god lol I'm so dumb

[molten lynx]

i have to asing the event in anotehr file dont i?

[proven sable]

Yer where you have Expansion event 01, that should be country_event XD

[molten lynx]

o lol

[proven sable]

Country_event just tells it it's a country event

You can also do a news event

[molten lynx]

saying this aprt is unexpected event

name = expansion_events.2.a

oh damn its firing but its not hidden and has no effect

[proven sable]

The a is saying option one, so it's expansion_event.1.a

[proven sable]

Firing via console might make it visible and it won't do anything if the oob isn't loaded and the country you're spawning units for doesn't exist

[molten lynx]

oh

oob is loaded

[sand summit]

huh?

[proven sable]

Nowhere in an event do you need to specify a tag

[sand summit]

but i thought in order to use the event console command you need to type 'event [event id]'

[molten lynx]

ok so FAR controling teh state isnt doing anything

[proven sable]

Yes event id, that's not a tag

[sand summit]

hmm

i get that same error when i try to fire an event

using what i described

[wintry geode]

Are there any other hoi4 modding discord servers other than r/hoi4modding's discord server?

[proven sable]

You have to let the game run a while since you set mtth to 5 days

And obviously since it's hidden the event won't show up

Try removing the is hidden and see if it pops up

[molten lynx]

o i thought it was horus lol

either way its not triggered

[molten lynx]

ok

[proven sable]

I think it's also set to fire only once so make sure to start a new save

[molten lynx]

ye

nothing yet

[proven sable]

Give it like a month just in case

[molten lynx]

what if it doesnt know this si a state?

[proven sable]

It does know

[molten lynx]

WAIT

i have noticed something

[proven sable]

Oh you might need to put create unit in brackets

[molten lynx]

the exact tile im trying to spawn teh divisions on gets railway damage eactly 5 days after the event is suppsoed to triggger

[proven sable]

So 334 = {create_unit

[molten lynx]

but no units are created

indonesia isnt gettign any units

hmm strange

[proven sable]

wait hold on should probably set who is getting the event in the trigger

so add tag = FAR in the trigger

[molten lynx]

there?

[proven sable]

yer

that's definately why you didn't see it pop up

because it could fire for any country but once its fired it can't fire again

[proven sable]

then do this and I think it should work

[molten lynx]

wait i havent done this aprt yet

how do i do that?

this?

[proven sable]

        name = vic_colonial_war.13.a
        334 = {
            create_unit = {
                prioritize_location = 10237
                division = "name = \"Scarab Swarm\" division_template = \"Scarab Swarm\" start_manpower_factor = 1"
                owner = FAR
                count = 6
                allow_spawning_on_enemy_provs = yes
            }
            
        }
    }```

[molten lynx]

its stil same as before for some reason

country_event = {
    id = expansion_events.1

    title = expansion_events.1.t
    desc = expansion_events.1.desc
    picture = GFX_report_event_ARG_coup_detat
    fire_only_once = yes
    hidden = no

    trigger = {
         986 = {is_controlled_by = FAR}
         tag - FAR
    }
    mean_time_to_happen = { days = 5}
    
    option = { 
            name = expansion_events.2.a
            334 = { 
                create_unit = {
                    prioritize_location = 10237
                    division = "name = \"Scarab Swarm\" division_template = \"Scarab Swarm\" start_manpower_factor = 1"
                    owner = FAR
                    count = 6
                    allow_spawning_on_enemy_provs = yes
            }
        }
    }
}```

event seems to fire, jsut casues dfamage to that one tile

no units spawned

trigger seems to be woreking

[proven sable]

That's extremely weird. I've never tried spawning units in enemy territory before, god only knows how that works with 0 manpower too.

[molten lynx]

perhapse another part of the event to make my coutnry the controller of that tile beore spawning teh unit?

[proven sable]

Could try that

[molten lynx]

TAG becomes controller of TILE > spwan units code

i have no idea how to do that lmao

[proven sable]

whoever is getting the state = {transfer_state = whoever had the state}

[molten lynx]

wait can oyu not do it with provinces?

like teh little tiles

[proven sable]

Only states

[molten lynx]

shit

dont know if thatll work then

[molten lynx]

maybe the naming of my division tempalte stuff is wrong?

thats the division im trying to sapwn

[proven sable]

Could be, not sure

Think I have to bow out here tho, good night

[molten lynx]

alright thats my queue too

its nearly 5 am

Hi i am currently working on my first mod focused on events and i did one that works however for some reason it works only in the first month of the game. Then even if the triggers are met it still wont fire the event. And when i fire it manually it shows that the triggers are met. Any ideas what is going on?

[lofty plaza]

Change his name in the character file

[timber zenith]

did you put is_triggered_only = yes?

[crimson dust]

Sweet, thanks

[timber zenith]

do you have a state 735 in history/states?

[eager elk]

yes

[timber zenith]

what does the file look like?

can you send a ss?

[eager elk]

i clearead it out cuz i want a blank map

[timber zenith]

an empty state file won't work

you just need to remove the owner and core

[eager elk]

kk

but idk how to do that in all of the states

[timber zenith]

by hand

[eager elk]

yea but that takes A VERY long time

[timber zenith]

yeah

[eager elk]

when you can just clear it out with code

[timber zenith]

there might be a way using notepad++, replacing lines with nothing

however i'm not sure

[timber zenith]

which event doesn't fire?

[eager elk]

kk will do

[shy gull]

the first one automaticly fires all of the others. However it fires only if the war is declared only in january 1936

so the first

[timber zenith]

what namespaces have you set?

[shy gull]

add_namespace = afk_tag

[timber zenith]

what country are you spectating as?

OH

it's fire_only_once

means only one country is receiving the event, and no others can

[shy gull]

germany

[shy gull]

yeah the first event is supposed to be seen only by germany. taht first event then fires other events for other countries with little different option names

[timber zenith]

you can make certain options appear if a specific tag is looking at the event

by putting a trigger = {} within the option scope

[shy gull]

okey i turned fire only once to no and it worked but iz now fires the event like 3 times so you have to click the option button 3 times before it disapears

[timber zenith]

i'm not familiar with news events, but you could put a set_global_flag in the immediate scope, then require not having that global flag for the event to trigger

maybe country flag instead of global

[timber zenith]

major = yes means it shows for everyone

remove that and put an original_tag = GER in the triggers and you should be good

[shy gull]

so i changed fire only once to no and did what you write but now it doesnt fire at all

okay i putted TAG = GER to triggers and now it again works only in january

[molten lynx]

@proven sable think i could edit the ai of a country to ignore low manpower? im certain thats why they wont push

[proven sable]

Is it still low supply areas tho?

Try putting them somewhere like the Maginot and see if they push, if they do it's not manpower

[molten lynx]

its not the supply becasue teh units are fully suppied

liek ive given them lados fo modifiers

for supply

the custom units use 0 manpwoer and the coutnry has 0 manpwoer and 0 populatkon

[proven sable]

But if they push another tile they won't have supply

[molten lynx]

i mean the unit have to be spawned via event since units need manpower to be deployedf

so it msut be that

[molten lynx]

they do

hmmm

at least they dont have any side effects of low supply

[proven sable]

There will be 0 supply in the tile

[molten lynx]

how can i know for sure if its supply?

[proven sable]

Like I say put them on the Maginot and see if they attack

[molten lynx]

is tehr a cheat for spawning divisions on a certain tile?

[proven sable]

You could just tag to the country and recruit some units

[molten lynx]

cant recruit them as they are locked to a specific coutnry

and they dont use manpwoer

you cant deploy units that dont have any manpwoer

[proven sable]

create and event to do it then

[sullen tundra]

Why is the focus not working and why is the id as the name not being overridden? (I presume there's something essential missing in one of the folders but this is my first modding):

[proven sable]

Localization needs to be in speech marks

Purple_coup:0 "purple coup"

The event needs to be fired for a specific country.

[sullen tundra]

How do I do that?

[proven sable]

SOV = { country_event = my_event.1 }

[sullen tundra]

Where would I put that in the focus?

@proven sable

[proven sable]

Delete trigger event block

It really helps if you just copy the code

You can enclose it in ``` to keep the formating

like this

[sullen tundra]

focus_tree = {
    id = horrid_henry_focus_tree

    country = {
        base = 0
        modifier = {
            add = 10
            tag = eng
        }
    }

    # Start of Focus Tree
    focus = {
        id = purple_coupe
        name = LOC_FOCUS_PURPLE_COUP
        icon = # Insert icon here
        position = { x = 0 y = 0 }
        
        cost = 5

        effect = {
            trigger_event = {
                id = purple_coupe_event
            }
        }

        is_root = yes
    }
}

Like this?

[proven sable]

focus_tree = {
    id = horrid_henry_focus_tree

    country = {
        base = 0
        modifier = {
            add = 10
            tag = eng
        }
    }

    # Start of Focus Tree
    focus = {
        id = purple_coupe
        name = LOC_FOCUS_PURPLE_COUP

        is_root = yes
    }
}

Change the tag and event to what you want

[timber zenith]

if it's root you don't need to include the tag/scope

(as in targeting your own country)

[sullen tundra]

So what's stopping the event from working then?

[timber zenith]

and use completion_reward

instead of effect

you'd also still need to change trigger_event to country_event

[sullen tundra]

Getting this error msg now

[timber zenith]

you can keep the event as a scope but the way Mr Genghis has shown is easier

what does your event code look like?

[sullen tundra]

event = {
    id = purple_coupe_event
    title = "The Purple Coupe"
    desc = "Seemingly out of nowhere, a group of children who call themselves the 'Purple Hand Gang' have marched into Parliament and overthrown the government! Is this the end of Britain, or the start of a new era?"
    picture = "GFX_EVENT_PURPLE_COUP"

    option = {
        name = "The Purple Hand Gang rules ok!"
        ai_chance = { factor = 100 }

        effect = {
            change_country_flag = { new = gfx/flags/fascist }
            change_country_leader = { new = purple_leader }
            change_country_ideology = fascist
            add_country_modifier = {
                name = purple_coupe_manpower_bonus
                days = 365
                manpower_modifier = 20
            }
        }
    }
}

This is mostly GPT code so it's probs completely wrong

[timber zenith]

ah yeah I wouldn't use chatgpt at all it gets most stuff wrong

[sullen tundra]

I was using yt, but the guides are all ancient now

[timber zenith]

they're all up to date

at least iron workshop is

especially events which haven't changed

[sullen tundra]

Tbh, I'm too impatient to watch some of the guides

[timber zenith]

change country flag/ideology/leader don't exist, they're all just set_politics (with the flag and leader changing based on the government `

and modifiers are in ideas

i would recommend the wiki article then

https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Event_modding

[timber zenith]

Modding does require a lot of patience so if you can't sit through a tutorial you'll be hard pressed to finish a mod

[sullen tundra]

Ik. I just seem to have selective patience, because I don't mind programming and getting stuck for ages etc.

[timber zenith]

that's quite understandable

[sullen tundra]

Best thing I can do now is just leave this for tomorrow when my brain cells are replenished.

[proven sable]

Genuinely impressed it's only about 70% wrong

[sullen tundra]

Well it isn't actually GPT, it's from google Gemini

[proven sable]

Best look at a base game file, copy it and edit it.

@proven sable jsut had an idea, can i edit supply requirements for units? maybe this would be a good workaround for my issue

[proven sable]

its not the requirements, its the fact the AI thinks the area has no supply. You could always just add more supply

like add a bunch of ports

[molten lynx]

hmmm

[molten lynx]

ok jsut for testing, how can i easily give a country infinit fuel / trains and trucks?

[proven sable]

type into console ale

and fuel 10000000

[molten lynx]

wait i mean liek can i do this with an idea?

oh or maybe a repaeating event that generates fuel?

[proven sable]

oh you could make an idea for fuel gain from oil +8000% or something

[molten lynx]

i used a modifier to reduce fuel consumptoon loads

[molten lynx]

btw, how do you trie an ai stratagy file to a coutnry? is it jsut using teh same tag as the file name for the ai stragay file?

[proven sable]

I changed focus order but that's it really

[molten lynx]

ah

[molten lynx]

wait i set up my ai stratagies wrong

im an idiot

i was jsut writing the effect iw anted in the file

i can send you mod?

[hard mirage]

Well im going to work in like 20 minutes sorry

[plucky crystal]

np

[rose heath]

you need to figure it out on your own and not send people your mod

if your focuses dissapeared it's most likely a brackets problem

check the one you edited recently and see if everything is closed as it's supposed to

anyone here good with custom unit models? most of teh tutorials ive found are otudated or missing information

[valid apex]

What do you need?

[molten lynx]

i jsut want to create a custom unit model for a custom unit

animations can come later

need to get teh actual model set up first

[valid apex]

Can you show me the concept

[molten lynx]

https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/corruptor-from-horizon-zero-dawn-6d2561f45b93474689d54736a6549a68

itll need heavy modifying i know

[valid apex]

If it free i can do something with it

[molten lynx]

ye its free

o shit you are offering to set it up for me?

[valid apex]

I mean i can port it in with animation

[molten lynx]

this one doesnt have any anims

[valid apex]

I could make one

[molten lynx]

o wait really?

[valid apex]

Yah

[valid apex]

But it be somewhat basic

[molten lynx]

oh ye basic is fine

i can get you an example of the walk cycle for this thing

[molten lynx]

you can see it in this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d84DBpfjQ6U&pp=ygUbaG9yaXpvbiB6ZXJvIGRhd24gY29ycnVwdG9y

btw, one of the other custom unit models im lookgin to make already has anims, howevr the evrsion with amnims and teh version with textures seem to be seperated
https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/deathbringer-from-horizon-zero-dawn-434addccf6554c318609136f64f04e81
https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/deathbringer-from-horizon-zero-dawn-5c0514eae1f94f22bc5475fe0970cd28

how easy would it be to port this anims to hoi4?

also im concurned with how difficul itll be to optimise these meshes for hoi

as they have tens of thousands of tris

[valid apex]

I could try but doubtful

[sullen tundra]

Anyone have a copy of/similar file to this one shown by Iron Workshop on yt? The page for it on Github is unavailable:

[valid apex]

werid there is no texture pack

[molten lynx]

ye i think the mateirals are jsut colours

[valid apex]

do you still want it i am not a texture person

[molten lynx]

if you can keep each material slot sperated i coudl probbaly jsut asign singlke colorued textures afterwards

that possible?

or could you even jsut asign single colours to those slots?

[valid apex]

I could but there is a problem with my exporter is that they will have error if there are too many material it kind of werid

[molten lynx]

oh wait really?

can you not have multiple textures?

[valid apex]

It could but something i would losse weight to it skeleton

or i could teach you how to export a mesh

[molten lynx]

if i were to sort out the textures myself would this be easier?

ive never touched texturing in blender

but if its jsut single colours it cant be that difficult?

[valid apex]

can you rephrase ?

[molten lynx]

what if i sorted the textures for you?

[valid apex]

ok

[molten lynx]

i might be able to rip the original meshes from horizon zero dawn

presumably they have single textures

[valid apex]

That might be good

[molten lynx]

should already be rigged too but im not sure

they might have animations already, but dont know for sure. still looking into this

[molten lynx]

bear with me ive almost got it

[valid apex]

Sorry it is 11pm here i can stay up for 1 more

[molten lynx]

ah thats ok, no rush

might take me a few hours to sort out these models

[gilded harbor]

you can join MP games with fps map right?

@proven sable ive tested and the issue isnt suply

they still advance a little bit and stop

even in otehr states not jsut the outback

Again, have you tried them in combat somewhere like the Maginot

ye in the indonesian islands

[proven sable]

The Indonesian Islands also have awful terrain, awful supply and massive attrition

[molten lynx]

what do i do if i want to recruit a character with a focus?

[timber zenith]

You have to recruit the character first in the nation's history file, then either promote them if they're a country leader or add the available = {} scope to an advisor

[wintry geode]

Like this?

How do I get this tech to show the effects in the doctrine tree in Hoi4.

does any1 know why i cant join MP games with the fps map mod eventhough it says its compatible with MP?

UNFINISHED AS IS THE PLACEMENT

Cant you have numbers or smth in focus trees?

[fossil cradle]

Why the f you have the focus tree like this?

What the-

[rose heath]

you know the TNO mod right

they have multiple focus trees hidden within the focus tree

only revealed once a certain condition is met

[wintry geode]

literally said unfinished

[wintry geode]

600 focuses at once will slow down the mod?

[rose heath]

well i meant
maybe if you were to make the focuses hidden until a certain condition is met
then it would lag less
though idk if this would work

[wintry geode]

could make so the "3rd box" gets unlocked in 1800 and stuff

and the other 3 1805-1830

[rose heath]

yeah something like that
see if that works

[wintry geode]

will try that tommorow tbh its 2:45am imo

I see all the tickets 🙂

thank you for the headsup though

[vapid creek]

Was unsure of that as last time it was there for 8 days, but that’s good to know! My family was affected by this that’s why I’m so on top of it. 😁

[vast helm]

it wasnt up for 8 days, they just kept reuploading versions of it

so I didnt get them immediately each time

[vapid creek]

Crazy how they have like 8-10 people reuploading it

I know it’s like a whole dedicated group, they have a link to it in the description.

Kinda worrying honestly

[dim bronze]

to add on to my problem, it doesnt show in error logs

its quite literally just two seperate mods that are out of date

[timber zenith]

I'm not sure i understand what you mean

[dim bronze]

as in it just shows that two mods are on a wrong game version

[timber zenith]

Could you upload the file anyway?

[dim bronze]

im out rn but i could later

[timber zenith]

alright

make sure you let the game crash first as it reloads the file every time you launch

(or you can upload the error log from the crash folder)

is that the log inside the crash folder?

where would i find the crash folder?

[timber zenith]

it's in the documents hoi4 folder called "crashes"

[dim bronze]

ah i found

which folder is it

[timber zenith]

whichever is most recent i'd guess

[dim bronze]

is this to do with when states do ":-1"

[timber zenith]

could you potentially zip the mod and upload it?

[warped wing]

Is there a reason there aren't any NSFW mods for this game, knowing the community you'd think there would be

[wintry geode]

Does the new design look better?

[wintry geode]

Is there a specific effect that also reduces the speed of the dockyards making ships?

[summer lotus]

more like both 💀

base EAI has probably less impact than Better Mechanics

it is a much more complex mod than Better Mechanics but the result was insignificant

[summer lotus]

impossible

no AI mod can handle navy

Expert AI lives on buffs anyway,

you can use it without giving AI buffs but it crashes their stock market

Better AI mod (yeah, the name is "Better AI") probably has more depth than both BM and EAI but it is weird 🤔

it is not radical enough to make AI strong, but barely lives on any buffs at the same time, while being a very incompatible mod just like Expert AI

Expert AI is very radical in how it affects the game, making it highly incompatible,

but the og mod creator wasn't a good player so the AI is actually weaker than fully buffed vanilla AI

Better Mechanics is almost universally compatible with any other mods, even other AI mods, but it isn't radical enough

[hallow shuttle]

i think they are banned

[timber zenith]

why would you be looking for that anyway lmfao

[hallow shuttle]

i really dont know how a hoi4 adult image mod could possibly be made

[warped wing]

I don't actually want any, I just don't understand why there literally are none. For instance if I go into the Terraria steam workshop within like 4 seconds I can find mods to make all of the the individual npcs nude.

I am wondering if there is a rule in the community that we don't make that kind of mod content

for uh, um, research purposes.

[timber zenith]

what exactly would you be able to make nsfw anyway? the unit models maybe?

[warped wing]

You could replace unit models with nudity, change portraits out for nudity, change equipment models to be things like well

You could look to mods like femBavaria were this is a decision that brings up a basic darting menu, but that could be taken further

You can change images in events/ news

[brisk dune]

In the name of Eiko, as a good example of nsfw mod

[warped wing]

From what I have been able to find there are nsfw mods, but not on steam. Strangely I can't find if there are actually rules against making that kind of mod in the steam community, in fact I have only found people asking why there are no nsfw mods(more weather or not they should even exist).

[frank salmon]

I think steam has them mostly under control although I have seen some very sus anime mods

no actual nsfw though

[brisk dune]

try in the name of eiko

available on steam

[warped wing]

what one

there are like 3 and none have images and the descriptions are entirely in Chinese

[brisk dune]

there's a necessary item list at right side of the page

that one named in the name of eiko is it

[earnest prawn]

how to change a country leader's name and also how do hoi4 modders make portraits

[valid apex]

To change name:
You need Localisation and common/characters

On character file you need to check it define for example: name = SOV_georgy_zhukov

Now go to localisation file, search for your it define (SOV_georgy_zhukov)

Change the latter half then you done

Here is the wiki https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Character_modding

[timber zenith]

wow

that's some very interesting.... tentacle content

looking through the files of that mod is wild 😂

some of these characters look a little too young tho... 😬

[timber zenith]

yeah wtf report that shit

how has that been allowed for 3 years holy

[warped wing]

when I opened this in game all the decisions are only ?'s, I imagine because it is Chinese

[brisk dune]

it's just fine, those characters are adults, or at least being considered as adult when they wrote those stories

[brisk dune]

doesnt make sense, it has english localisation there in the files

[warped wing]

wait I didn't read that I need to edit the files hold up

[timber zenith]

i'm not gonna go quoting file locations but there are literal children there

[warped wing]

hmm

[brisk dune]

maybe it's translation issue

as far as i know they only have mechanic translators

[timber zenith]

translation? it's images bro

[brisk dune]

oh images

have you heard about a concept called legal loli?

and i guess some of those images were from AIs

[timber zenith]

yeah lol no way you're justifying that

there's a pic of schoolgirls lined up lifting their shirts up and you know they're underage cause it's got a school chalkboard in the background

[brisk dune]

ah i remember that one, yea that one is sus

lets see if they have any claims in their readme files

sneaky tricks used by those jp game makers

"All characters are 18 years old or older."

[warped wing]

what is the file number

[brisk dune]

2621560608

[warped wing]

thx

It looks like it is all in Chinese

[brisk dune]

oh gosh, i thought they did have an en version

so they dont have it fr

[warped wing]

in the localization folder all of the text files are full of Chinese even when labeled as English

[brisk dune]

i see that, a lil bit fraud

well one of their devs replied me that they just dont translate them

[warped wing]

hmm

[brisk dune]

in order to avoid some legal issue

pity

[warped wing]

I suppose I could just do them all myself for a least a basic translation

I mean it will mess it up pretty badly but considering the type of mod and that only I will see it it shouldn't matter

[brisk dune]

They probably intentionally didn't translate the mod as a way to avoid possible risks, so that the players who have access to and subscribe to the mod are basically East Asian players who don't mind underage content

[warped wing]

underaged character images could be substituted out for other images

[timber zenith]

that's even worse

[brisk dune]

that makes sense

tbh they might just randomly find some pixiv nsfw images for their mod, especially jp styles and use them after having the author's permission

east asian players including jp and cn players just dont mind it most of the time

[brisk dune]

how

[timber zenith]

because they deliberately don't translate it because they know what they're making is wrong

[brisk dune]

i ll try to talk to their dev then

ok they gave me an explain

they r suprised to know that more players from other districts are familiar with this mod

and they dont seem to think that these contents r wrong at all.

the dev explained that the age of consent is 14 in cn so it should be fine

as nsfw contents are already illegal in cn

[timber zenith]

that's a problem not an explaination

[warped wing]

as well lolicon is illegal in the US

[brisk dune]

almost everything nsfw is illegal in cn

[warped wing]

yes I said also US

[summer lotus]

tbh China enforces it much more harshly and carefully

[timber zenith]

the age of consent in sudan is 12, if a sudanese person uploaded that content would it be okay?

no

[brisk dune]

steam workshop isnt accessible in cn

[timber zenith]

yet the most popular mod is chinese?

[brisk dune]

and the authority just dont care if some modder upload nsfw content across gfw for free

[brisk dune]

they have vpn

[timber zenith]

well, i think the mod is under review now.. I hope it gets removed

[brisk dune]

and accelerators (legal) to help them

[warped wing]

where are the image files in this mod

I am only seeing lots of text

[timber zenith]

gfx folder

[warped wing]

oh shit

[timber zenith]

yep

[warped wing]

there are so many

[brisk dune]

culture difference i guess, they just think it doesnt matter

that should be the same in the whole east asia

jp have ci-en and dlsite which is full of these stuff

[timber zenith]

its not a cultural difference it's a collection of chronically online p*dos

[brisk dune]

well then buddy google dlsite

it seems that jp even have a topseller website for those chronic patients

[warped wing]

most of these look at least 18 but many are clearly not, unfortunately I need to use a dds file helper as many of the images are in that format

[brisk dune]

i agree this is crazy, but thats something exist fr

[summer lotus]

I just find it funny because they still have lower crime rate in related area of justice

it does extend as far as south east asia as well

[warped wing]

this mod could defiantly be recovered for a English speaking audience and changing some of the images

[timber zenith]

you're not gonna be charged if its not seen as a problem

[summer lotus]

nah, even as a whole

for some reasons most of them are just harmless when it comes to actual people being involved

the actual pedoes use a different site

like the ones that actually want to do anything that affects or harms any others

some Asian gacha games with a lot of young girls, such as Blue Archive, are vastly popular in Vietnam, for example

[brisk dune]

funny fact, lolicon is illegal in US, but there's Little Saint James

[summer lotus]

but their players don't even bother with people

like they are just harmless

they just don't actually cause anything

[timber zenith]

and what happened to the dude that owned it

[brisk dune]

child pornos sometimes are bestsellers in jp, but nobody does that in real life.

[summer lotus]

ew, now that's rare

[brisk dune]

I don't know if he'd get the federal death penalty in the U.S., but in China he'd definitely get the death penalty with immediate execution

[summer lotus]

but anyway for Asians, they generally view the other side of the world as vastly more degenerative

[brisk dune]

immediate means execute after months of review

but fast enough

[summer lotus]

so I think this is pretty much just

cultural difference

[warped wing]

no way in the US, most states don't even have death penalty

[summer lotus]

in how people view whether this or that stuff is actually degen or how they interact with other people

[brisk dune]

That's why I'm against abolishing the death penalty :(

[warped wing]

real

[timber zenith]

the ones in the mod are literally naked

not like "young looking"

[summer lotus]

yeah, but they still won't touch a real person

which is where I just find them weird

[warped wing]

regardless in the US the penalty is "significant charges and significant jail time".

[timber zenith]

thoughts turn into actions.. it's a story as old as crime

[brisk dune]

true

[warped wing]

in Cn would not be surprised if death penalty

[summer lotus]

yeah, yet they still don't touch a real person

which is just weird

[brisk dune]

maybe charactors in 2D is much better than a real person i guess lol

[summer lotus]

oh is that so?

tbh Asian cultural difference is massive

from their perspective, the west is vastly more degenerative

[brisk dune]

like, it's just a game

game charactors dont rebel

and you dont need to worry about legal issues

can do whatever you like

[summer lotus]

👀

tbh Asians are just weird,

either that

or both are weird

we just think our side is more normal

[warped wing]

from my perspective it is the Jedi that are evil

lmao sorry that is just what I thought of immediately

[timber zenith]

is it opposite day from your perspective too

[brisk dune]

me?

[summer lotus]

well I live in Australia

so yes

[timber zenith]

YOOOO SAME

[brisk dune]

i do live in china right now

[summer lotus]

[timber zenith]

sydney perchance?

[brisk dune]

still, somehow weird but fine

[summer lotus]

nope, melb

[brisk dune]

i guess chinese experienced too much and they've seen it all before.

[timber zenith]

damn

[brisk dune]

after all their history book looks scary

much thicker than i expected

[warped wing]

what one

[brisk dune]

touring around, taipei, hongkong sar, mainland

[warped wing]

hmm

[timber zenith]

you in the cc clique?

[brisk dune]

what's cc clique, the one held by nationalist?

no way, they are currently getting weaker

i dont think they can decide what to eat for supper in their retirement home

[blazing hornet]

Really?

Its cool

[brisk dune]

yep, only thing bothering me is the gfw

everything else is fine

[blazing hornet]

What is gfw?

[brisk dune]

some internet restriction keeping you away from ytb, tw, ins, etc.

[blazing hornet]

Oh ok my eng is bad so sorry

[brisk dune]

oh that's fine, few people know that

[warped wing]

great firewall

[blazing hornet]

Thanks

[brisk dune]

we can talk in direct message if you are more interested

[warped wing]

神圣联合国 is a strange line

[brisk dune]

ah, think of it as manlkind's last resistance.

[warped wing]

it keeps saying holy united nations

[brisk dune]

they r just trying to create a sense of contrast with the succubus

[brisk dune]

That's what it means.

not the UN, just the last group of resistance get united

[warped wing]

I have seen it replace virgin with saint though so idk, a lot of stuff has English tags nest to them but they don't always coordinate

[brisk dune]

and succubus would try to make them corrupted

[blazing hornet]

I wrote

[brisk dune]

my fault

[brisk dune]

that's how translator behave i think

[blazing hornet]

I did write in google translate and i saw just United States

[warped wing]

I mean yea it just has a database of words in both languages and picks the words that match closest in most context

[warped wing]

and it is tagged as GOD_succubus_system:0 in English lmao

I suppose the event call for that phrase, many events call the same phrases

[fluid compass]

this might fit here, but does anyone know what the river map colors mean?

i want to redraw the river map because its not how i want it to be, and i dont know what the colors mean

should i use only cyan?

[paper flare]

what does this mean Error: "Unexpected token: spriteType, near line: 1" in file: "interface/country/italy/VNE_decision.gfx" near line: 7

[paper flare]

maybe its the river size?

[fluid compass]

possibly

[rose heath]

you can look it up on the wiki

[obtuse condor]

i'm currently playing great war redux as ottomans, and i won the balkan war

but now ww1 won't fire

is this bugged

[obtuse condor]

i mean i fully annexed all the balkan states

world tension is also only 5% in 1915

[fluid compass]

🤦‍♂️

hmmm, i wonder why the serb nationalist assassin

would assassinate franz joseph

if there is no serbia on the map

hmmmm

[north wave]

going good

now their flag and leader must be changed

and then loc

[obtuse condor]

🤦‍♂️

hmmm i wonder if the mod's developer would have took steps to ensure that the main event of the mod would fire regardless of player actions hmmmmmmmmm

[fluid compass]

i mean, it makes sense for the event to not trigger

if serbia doesnt exist

the serb nationalist assassin killed the heir to throne in sarajevo, bosnia

he could've done it literally anywhere he wanted to

but instead he chose bosnia!

wonder whyu

[obtuse condor]

the war probably was gonna fire tbh

irl i mean

makes sense that the mod simulates this scenerio by making it happen a few years later

[fluid compass]

yea if franz joseph didnt get assassinate d ww1 would just be postponed i think a ww1 would still be possible

[hallow shuttle]

ww1 can also fire by france doing a focus

[dire turtle]

Owb Best mod

[gleaming edge]

I think the nudge tool is broken

I'm making a map mod and I cannot validate any (coastal) state without it crashing

I randomized all the buildings, tried remaking the entire map, nothing

The error log indicates its due to no port buildings in coastal tiles but I simply cannot add them as its greyed out

And verify auto crashes

So I'm realy stuck

[rose heath]

is there a tutorial somewhere that'll tell me how to make something like War Support or Stability

i want there to be a third thing affected by different things giving different things

or maybe where i can find stability and war support in files

[upbeat mist]

You can make a dynamic modifier for that. Or you can make a variable that will affect a dynamic modifier (using maths). If you also want to you may desire to put that value somewhere on the screen, and that can be achieved with a custom gui. I believe the wiki provides enough information in regards to that.

[fossil cradle]

Question: It is possible to transfer a province to a country by event?

[proper acorn]

It is only possible to transfer state

[molten lynx]

what modifier would i give a country to lock its ability to edit tempaltes but still allow it to train new ones?

ive only been able to find a modifier for locking both

[fossil cradle]

Another question: its possible to delete a certain number of units by event?

[wintry geode]

Why is the focus tree vissible?

i thought this would make this part of the focus tree invisible?

How do i make so a focus makes so an advisor gets hired?

[rose heath]

i'm pretty sure it's in the advisor code, and a focus only has cosmetic display of unlocking the advisor

[wintry geode]

havent really added any focuses that add forts infrastructure railways or anythinng

could add that

[timber zenith]

You have to also update the focus tree in order to hide it, you can do that with the effect mark_focus_tree_layout_dirty = yes

update it as an effect in that focus

[wintry geode]

still visible

[timber zenith]

did you complete the focus?

[wintry geode]

yes

[timber zenith]

No it has to be an effect

completion_reward

[wintry geode]

Ok

[timber zenith]

inside focus 85

[wintry geode]

how do i make so that part becomes dirty?

and not the whole focus tree

[timber zenith]

it reloads the whole tree, that just means it will hide what needs to be hid

(which is whatever is in that branch)

[wintry geode]

i made a new branch for that focus

[timber zenith]

Should be fine then

[wintry geode]

that didnt do anything

[timber zenith]

You have to complete focus 85

[wintry geode]

i did

[timber zenith]

and you put the reload in the effect of that focus?

[timber zenith]

can you show that whole focus?

and the other focus that disappears

[wintry geode]

0 focuses disappeared

[timber zenith]

i mean the code for them

[wintry geode]

theres no messed up brackets

or anything

[proven sable]

Have a look at the base game, I think you had to set categories/set ever focus to disappear.

[wintry geode]

cant i just make a country_flag?

that gets given with that focus

[timber zenith]

could you send a screenshot of the focus with the allow_branch bit?

[fossil cradle]

I was told that a decision with invisible timer is possible. It is true?

[gilded harbor]

does anyone have a link to a mod that changes the TNO ui to something better

[silent swallow]

There are no errors pertaining to the map itself, there are some about other parts of my mod but nothing relating to my map. Can someone please help. The game crashes on start in the nudger because of the map and I don't know why

[timber zenith]

Have you made any recent changes in the nudger?

[molten lynx]

can anyone help me with au stratagies?

my country refuses to use teh strategies ive set

[silent swallow]

Not prior to changing the map, I believe the last change I made was changing germany's capital state but even before then it was messed up

From my map editing^

[timber zenith]

wdym when you say you changed the map?

[silent swallow]

I added provinces, changes and added states

Added definition

[timber zenith]

Have you also fixed buildings?

by pressing validate all states

[silent swallow]

I believe so, if not I will again in case but I feel like I already did so

What else could it be if not buildings

[timber zenith]

could be provinces unassigned to strategic regions/states with multiple regions

[icy wing]

is there some mod for better UI of achievements ? shift + tab is just unreliable

[lofty plaza]

Can't you see them in playthrough overview?

[rose willow]

I mean when starting game and selecting country, I dont want to select country see achievements exit, select diff country see achievements and repeat

[fluid compass]

how do i make strait crossings?i specifically want to make two crossings here

[wintry geode]

prestigious_foreign_minister = {
random = no
consumer_goods_factor = -0.1
neutrality_drift = 0.05
trade_opinion_factor = 0.33
}

prestigious_self_serving_foreign_minister = {
    random = no
    consumer_goods_factor = -0.1
    neutrality_drift = 0.0
            democratic_drift = 0.05
            trade_opinion_factor = 0.33

Is the German Kaiserreich focus tree really good because theres allot for you to worry about?

dont like how you can chose if the russian revolution happens as russia in great war redux

the coup should just make white russia start out more centralized

Do anyone know how to add my own same_support_type to a units?

[grim laurel]

is there any good Waffen-SS or Himmler mod out there?

[wintry geode]

Why isnt the portrait there?

btw how do i make so a focus automatically hires them?

[grim laurel]

I think there is that on the hoi4 modding wiki

it's a command if I'm not wrong

[wintry geode]

everything is there sir

how do i search for it specifically

Want this focus to hire him not just make him available for hiring

[gentle goblet]

Do anyone know how to add my own same_support_type = to a units?

[wintry geode]

activate_advisor = FRA_talleyrand It was this

[grim laurel]

oh

[lofty plaza]

I still think you're making this in the most ineffective way possible
